Shoulder allows for vehicles to be farther from pedestrians on sidewalk (safety and comfort.)

Shoulder allows for potential expansion of sidewalk by two feet.

Cons:

Change from current condition – difficult for people to accept.

Perception that two lanes of capacity is needed for traffic going uphill although one lane is enough.

Some delay for motorists driving behind a slow vehicle uphill.

Slightly less space for vehicles to pass a broken down/run out of gas on the uphill side. A stalled vehicle would park within the 6’ bike lane with roughly 1’ overhang in the travel lane on the uphill side.
